[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@FinKitch Because he appears to be a very average manager. It's good that he's got the fans on side but he's shown nothing to prove that he's able at this level

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@RdfTactics FC Sete. 1st French club to win the double. Championnat National is where it's at

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@MattHughesDM Lampard wasn't given 30m to spend on the full backs, it's pretty well known they were Benitez signings. I know it's only the Daily Mail but you've still got to try.

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@Redtelephone84 @sid_lambert Pretty sure it was Swansea

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@TheAthleticUK @CDEccleshare @JamesTMaw @dannykellywords The same writer was criticising Doherty a few days ago so this must be a joke!

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@Millar_Colin I took 'major exits' to mean major players who have exited, seems a bit of a stretch to redefine it just because a club let a player go. I agree James didn't do it enough but the 3 mentioned were the key creators and DCL the finisher, lose all 4 and it clearly isn't the same side

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@iain_games @AFHStewart @EliasBurke @TheAthleticUK I'm Derby at the moment and it's not as bad as you'd think. There's some real dross in that league so with a good start you can catch up with a few teams relatively quickly. The young players develop well too if you tinker with individual training. It's a fun challenge!

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@BillRoddham @barneyronay He still hasn't been supported by that amount of elite level players and crucially, not in such a dominant team. Jansen is a funny inclusion but the broader point is fair imo

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@BillRoddham @barneyronay Modric and Bale left Spurs about a decade ago when Kane was on loan to Championship clubs. Kane hasn't been part of a dominant team but still has ridiculous numbers. Could he have averaged around a goal a game for a Real? It's unlikely but not out of the question.

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@WarrenBonathan @SkySportsPL Totally agree that the TV media is largely responsible for VAR. Thing is there now seems to be even more spotlight on officials so it hasn't helped much. They've got controversy they can milk to keep us watching the ads though so I guess it worked out ok for them!

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@WarrenBonathan @SkySportsPL Pundits will rip anything apart, it's easier to scream scandal than provide actual football analysis. We can't be afraid to improve the game in case Savage savages something though. Accusations of bias will exist whatever route is taken.

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@WarrenBonathan @SkySportsPL They can use it for clear and obvious errors and avoid difficult / marginal decisions. They need to understand the tech and human limitations that make this kind of accuracy impossible and use it pretty lightly imo

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@FinKitch @Everton Announcement will be made just after the window closes, that way we have time to bring in players the new manager doesn't want.

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@27yearsCampaign They'll probably just think it's a very small stag do that's got lost.

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@davidpreece12 Haha I'm sure a bit of that goes on, especially on decisions that could go either way. Abuse contributes to a lower standard of ref too I think. I mean, who wants to be a ref? Can't even get someone to ref kids games half the time!

[FM Team Guide @FMTeamGuide]

@davidpreece12 I agree and that added scrutiny leads to more abuse which leads to less wanting to ref at grassroots level which leads to a pretty shallow talent pool to draw from.. the result of which is pretty obvious. VAR is no help, I'd argue it's harming standards if anything.
